Love that sign - "Do what you love, everyday" - and those buttons. Helen you have such lovely, lovely items in your sewing room - and daffodils already on your walks.
We have had a huge amount of snow overnight - and I saw bunny tracks leading up our front porch and then slip in by or cedar bushes along the front of our house. Someone needed a new warm nest. Maybe Mabel can share her cardigan :)! It will be a while before our daffodils bloom - enjoy your daily walks.
What a perfect saying for these trying days. Crafting is such a great way to pass the time and feel like we're achieving something at the same time. Your bunnies are just gorgeous! Thanks for a lovely post. Liz
That's such a sweet motto. Doing what we love, even for a few moments in the day, is soul-soothing. I'm looking forward to doing more of that soon!
I do love Mabel in her pretty cardie!!
Love those little buttons too. :)
It's so lovely seeing all the spring flowers appear, such a joy and so welcome!
The little sign is gorgeous, great sentiment too. :)
Happy weekend lovely lady,

Helen, your pictures always make me happy. I hope you have a lovely sunny week-end. I live on the east coast of US (northern Virginia) and we have had heavy wind.... it is coming to you, soon. Sunday we are to have heavy snow all day and all day Monday too.
I invited 5.5 year old Sarah, my grand girl over tomorrow night. We are going to play with dolls, maybe go out in the snow, bake cookies, make cinnamon rolls, and just have a lot of fun. I might pitch the tent in the family room. and we can sleep on a lot of pillows.
This weather might be headed over to you in a few days!! Cheers
Your big bunny looks much warmer in her new sweater! :-) She might need some handknit socks, too. And a hat! LOL! We've got snowdrops up and in bud but none have opened yet. Daffodils also are up and budded. It's way too early as we could still get a freeze and snow. Stay well, my friend.
((hugs)), Teresa :-)
Yes you are so right , do what you love .

Wie schön wieder alles arrangiert ist bei Ihnen liebe Helen :-)
Und Mabel das Hasenmädchen ist so hübsch mit ihrem neuen Cardigan.
Danke, daß wir wieder dabei sein durften.
Herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland von Gaby :o))
Hello helen,
Well, we are not at all crafty people, but have so enjoyed looking at your wonderful creations. Clearly, you not only have a strong imagination but also have the creative skills to match. The quilt is so pretty. The colours work so well together and it is not at all fussy. We love its restricted colour palette and the freshness of the white background. Lovely.
Love the bunnies
